• Poverty, sustainability and human wellbeing: A social wellbeing approach to the global fisheries crisis (2011, background): “This dependence on fisheries is acute at the regional and local level in developing countries and for poor and marginalized populations in particular (Béné et al., 2007; FAO, 2009).”
• The Total Economic Value of Small-Scale Fisheries with a Characterization of Post-Landing Trends: an Application in Madagascar with Global Relevance (2013, background): “Another key contribution of small-scale fisheries is toward food security (Béné et al., 2007), which is of considerable interest in developing countries and in coastal regions where fish is often a key source of protein (Kent, 1998; Van der Elst et al., 2005; Bell et al., 2009; FAO, 2012b).”
• Feeding 9 billion by 2050 – Putting fish back on the menu (2015, background): “Estimated at 10–12 Mt in 2005, the total accounts for 10 % of global capture and culture fisheries’ production (Béné et al. 2007).”
• Feeding the poor: Contribution of West African fisheries to employment and food security (2015, background): “This suggests that the key role of fisheries does not lie in their cash value contribution to the economy at large, but rather in its use as a safety net for established and new fishers and their families (B en e, 2006; B en e et al., 2007).”
• Economic impact of ocean fish populations in the global fishery (2010, background): “Furthermore, although the fishing sector’s share of national output for many developing nations ranges between 0.5 and 2.5%, the industry may support much greater output through ‘trickle-up’ linkages in the economy (Béné et al. 2007).”
• Responsible Aquaculture and Trophic Level Implications to Global Fish Supply (2009, background): “…manufacturing practice (FAO, 2001), guidelines for increasing the contribution of small-scale fisheries to poverty alleviation and food security (FAO, 2005, 2008a), and guidelines on the use of wild fish as feed in aquaculture and its implications to food security and poverty alleviation (FAO,…”
• Food security and the Coral Triangle Initiative (2013, background): “Fisheries are recognised as an important contributor to food security, particularly in coastal developing countries [13].”
